Min-seok “AimGod” Kwon, a flex support player and former
Overwatch League player, has officially joined Squad CC, the Shanghai Sharks'
Contenders team, after only a few months with the team. AimGod competed with
Team CC in the inaugural season of the 2021 Contenders in Korea in May, marking
his first competitive appearance in over a year.
AimGod spent two seasons with Boston Uprising after playing
for Ardeont and Meta Bellum in 2017 and 2018. While he was a member of the
Uprising's first season squad, which finished third in the regular season and
advanced to the playoffs, he played the fewest minutes of anybody on the
roster. He saw a lot more action in season two, however he was one of numerous
players dismissed in October 2019 after the club finished second-to-last,
barely ahead of the Florida Mayhem.
He didn't go long without a team, joining with the
Washington Justice for the 2020 season, where he paired with highly respected
main support Yeon-joon "ArK" Hong in his final season before
retiring. AimGod's playing time and performance increased dramatically, and he
led the squad in healing throughout the season. The Justice had another disappointing
regular season, ending second-to-last with a 4-17 record, but then they
exploded in the NA Playoffs.
They swept Vancouver and Dallas in the Play-Ins, came close
to beating San Francisco in the first round of the playoffs, and then blitzed
past Paris, the LA Valiant, and Florida in the lower bracket before losing to
Philadelphia. They came in third place, much above of expectations, and joined
Seoul and Shanghai as the only teams to take two maps away from eventual
champions Shock.
During the playoff run, AimGod ranked second in healing for
all players. Despite that spectacular postseason, Washington chose to
restructure, and AimGod, along with DPS Lee “Stitch” Chung-hee and off-tank
Choi “JJanu” Hyeon-woo, were released.
AimGod has returned after a hiatus of several months. He
joined Team CC in May to help them win the NetEase Esports X Spring Tournament,
and he'll be on the Contenders Korea squad for the upcoming season.
